    Thanks for the comp.
    Would you be ok for a slight edit for searchability eg:
    E: 31/05 Win 2 nights in Paris for 2 (x2)
    rather than:
    15/05 (?) 2 nights in Paris for 2 (x2)
    Just click edit & advanced.

    Personally I'm a bit wary of this.I cannot put my finger on it but it just seems off in some way.

    1. There are two prizes to be won.
      • Two consecutive nights for two in a double premium room at the Hotel Cervantes Paris***, breakfast included, and return transport to Paris up to £250 (€300) / 2 people.

      • Two consecutive nights for two in a double premium room at the Hotel Magenta Paris***, breakfast included, and return transport to Paris up to £250 (€300) / 2 people.

    Thanks weeowens for finding the end date, I was putting the post up quickly while in work and couldn't see the end date. I wouldn't worry about the site, i've been getting newsletters from them for ages.

    I think the reason for it is because it looks like a whole website set up for one competition. I think it seems weird that a company would have their entire home page just as a competition. I agree with you and won't be entering, but if elledee's been subscribed for a while then it's its probably legit so best of luck to everyone who isn't as boring as me!

    That combined with a few other bits eg registrant details & lack of original artwork.
